Coming off the embarrassment of missing the cut at the French Open and then seeming to disparage the event and the fans, Watson looks to be adjusting to the European Tour better in his second go round in Sweden.

Watson is still learning to deal with the notoriety he never expected nor craved, but has clearly been thrust upon him after his successes in the U.S.

At the beginning of the week if you said I was in second place, in the final group on the last day, that would be great,” Watson said, a bit tongue and cheek after his third round. “The way I played today was just awful on the back nine. I just lost focus, lost energy, lost sight of what I was suppose to be doing and it cost me on the back nine.”

Now Watson will have to make inroads into Noren’s 11 shot lead with one round to go. Not easy, maybe not even doable, but Watson can go low, which will be required no matter what Noren does tomorrow.

“We’ve seen guys take leads like this and just dominate,” Watson said of Noren’s lead. “There is really nothing you can do, but play our game and hopefully its enough, but right now its not enough.”
